iPhone App Dev with Titanium: 02 Understanding Windows

[hatextil]

why not create a view instead of a sub window ? in with situations for example is it better with a subwindow ?

[MrDeyzel]

How do I know which color is which HEX number?

[cheetomoskeeto]

@MrDeyzel Use a color picker - if you've got Photoshop or Illustrator, both feature color pickers that give HEX values for colors. Also, there are color pickers online like kuler.adobe.com that will give HEX for colors (don't forget to add the # in Titanium)

What javascript editor do you use?

@reverandspaniel Dreamweaver

@reverandspaniel Using Aptana Web and Eclipse offers auto completion capabilities ...

Hello and thanks for your great series (also Lua)!

I also ran into the issue with the nested windows as described. I think if the subwindow would be of the typ View instead of Window it would be fine with Android.

Cheetomoskeeto,

Thank you for the response. I did not find anything on the dev boards, but I did figure out the issue.

Android does not like the win1.add(subwin); command. It works for labels, but windows within Android actually already layer on top of each other and go strictly by the float margins you specify.

So if you are developing for both apps, just code windows for Android, because they render the same in iPhone.

Please make more videos, they are awesome! Thank you for your time

First, let me say thank you so much for the tutorials. They are great getting started guides.

This one tutorial drives me nuts though because I can never get the code to work. I am using Titanium but developing for Android. The error occurs as soon as I add code for the subwindow. Is it just a difference between the Android and the iPhone OS regarding what they support? A response would be most appreciated.

@BellJimbo When these vidz were made in Spring 2009, I was teaching a class on Titanium and I remember a few of the students developing for Android having problems. Since then, Appcelerator has been a bit better about explaining small differences in implementation of Titanium for iPhone and Android. I'd check their boards and see if there is a specific post regarding whatever line of code isn't working.
